H. MOSER & CIE. – STREAMLINER Cylindrical Tourbillon Only Watch

H. MOSER & CIE. – STREAMLINER Cylindrical Tourbillon Vantablack® - Only Watch 2021

H. MOSER & CIE. CREATES AN EXCEPTIONAL  

UNIQUE MODEL FOR ONLY WATCH

H. Moser & Cie. is proud to join the fight against Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy by participating for the fourth time in the Charity Auction organised by the Monegasque Association against Muscular Dystrophy through the Only Watch campaign. This auction will be held on November 6th,2021 in Geneva. For this occasion, the Schaffhausen-based Manufacture has created a unique piece, showcasing several of its bold signature codes. H. Moser & Cie. has brought the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Only Watch to life by combining Vantablack® –the super-black coating reputed to be the darkest man-made substance in existence –with its three-dimensional movement equipped with a cylindrical hairspring, housed in the Streamliner case.

A shaped watch with a steel cushion case 40 mm in diameter, water-resistant to 12 ATM, the Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Only Watch is designed as sculptural work of art, and is topped with a domed sapphire crystal. Its movement was developed in collaboration with MB&F for a special edition launched in 2020 and highlights the balletic dance of the 1-minute flying tourbillon equipped with a cylindrical hairspring. Invented in the 18th century, the cylindrical hairspring rises perpendicularly around the upper stem of the balance spindle. A frequent feature on marine chronometers at the time, it offers the advantage of developing concentrically. Thanks to the cylindrical hairspring, fitted with a Breguet curve attached at two points, friction on the pivots is reduced and isochronism is greatly improved. Owing to its specific shape, the cylindrical hairspring is also extremely difficult to produce, taking ten times longer than a traditional hairspring. This hairspring was developed and produced by Precision Engineering AG, H. Moser & Cie.'s sister company.

H. Moser & Cie. chose a dial in Vantablack® to accentuate the depth of the cylindrical tourbillon movement. Reputed to be the darkest substance in existence, this super-black Vantablack® coating is used in astrophysics for telescopes and by the military asthermal camouflage, to increase the stealth level of certain equipment. It is composed of juxtaposed carbon nanostructures. When a photon hits Vantablack®, this material absorbs 99.965% of the light. As our eyes need reflected light to perceive what we are looking at, Vantablack® is perceived as the absence of matter, a black hole. Radiating the full power of its perfect blackness, the Vantablack® highlights the beauty of the flying tourbillon in an ultra-contemporary, refined and timeless manner. It also accentuates the hours and minutes dial, which is made from sapphire and tilted at a 40° angle, so that the wearer is the only one able to discern its secrets.

The curves of the case extend to the integrated steel bracelet, which is elegantly arced to follow the line of the wrist, with the unique design of the links ensuring a perfect fit. Highly complex in construction, this bracelet has extremely fluid lines, based on organic forms. All the links are articulated and feature a gentle wave combining a vertical brushed finish with polished surfaces.

The Streamliner Cylindrical Tourbillon Only Watch will be on display in Monaco during the Monaco Yacht Show from September 22nd to 25th,2021. The Only Watch 2021 collection will then go on tour in Europe, Asia, the Middle East and the USA, before finishing in Geneva on November 6th, 2021.

THE NEW ROYAL OAK SELFWINDING CHRONOGRAPH PLAYS WITH COLOUR AND LIGHT

Swiss Haute Horlogerie manufacture Audemars Piguet is delighted to unveil its new Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph in 38 mm that will be available solely in Audemars Piguet boutiques. For the first time, the Manufacture is offering a solid 18-carat pink gold timepiece with a bezel that has been set with an array of baguette-cut amethysts.

These purple gemstones surround and match the tones of the timepiece’s purple dial to perfection. Developed by the Manufacture’s artisans, the timepiece’s dial displays a range of purple hues that dance and change colour in the light.

A NEW SELFWINDING CHRONOGRAPH REFERENCE IN 38 MM

This new reference, combining pink gold and purple tones, expands the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph 38 mm range that was first unveiled by the Manufacture in 2019. Both elegant and stylish, its pink gold case and bracelet feature alternating polished and satin-finished surfaces that are the signature of Audemars Piguet.

The case houses the selfwinding Calibre 2385 with the following functions: chronograph, hours, minutes, small seconds and date, while the pink gold caseback has been finished with a sandblasted and satin-finished decoration and features a “Royal Oak” engraving.

A NEW PURPLE DIAL FOR ENDLESS VARIATIONS

The purple dial has been decorated with a “Grande Tapisserie” pattern, offering an unprecedented colour-changing effect akin to that of a chameleon – a first for the Manufacture.

This is achieved thanks to a new colour treatment that consists of applying multiple layers of purple PVD to the dial. The tones range from pink to purple, passing by all the different nuances of blue, depending on the angle of the watch and the play of light.

The dial is completed by three chronograph counters, also in purple.

The 18-carat pink gold applied hour-markers and the Royal Oak hands are designed to match the case and bracelet, providing an enchanting contrast with the colour of the dial.

AMETHYST – BETWEEN EXCELLENCE AND TECHNICAL CHALLENGES

The bezel of this new chronograph is set with 💎32 baguette-cut amethysts (~2.85 carats) which harmoniously blend with the purple chameleon dial.

Amethysts are a type of mineral quartz that often come in different shades of purple.

These diverse hues make the gemmologist’s task particularly difficult as they need to search for gemstones that have uniform and identical hues in order to create a harmonious gemsetting.

Nowadays, these gems are recognised and appreciated for their healing properties and powers that are said to ward off negative energy. The gemstones are often used in jewellery as they offer an alternative to the more popular precious stones as well as new colour options.

Amethysts bring a refined elegance to the Royal Oak Selfwinding Chronograph, while at the same time charging it up with positive energy.
